WWE opts not to renew Jerry Lawler's contract
 

Damn. Poor guy.

Didn't even know he was still announcing shows honestly.

He wasn't. He was on the Pre and Post shows.

Ah. At some point you need to move on and it has been time for him.

Meh, they'd done everything short of moving his desk to the basement. Hosting the HOF is his red stapler.

"What is Gerald Lauer doing in the impact zone!?"

I'm sure he doesn't give a shit, he milked them for everything he could have gotten doing as little work as possible. Good for him. Now he can go back to fucking even more under aged girls.

Yeah, the guy has been (on-and-off) involved with the company for what... 30 years? I mean, his current run has been a consistent 15 years or so. The guy's a very, very bad decision maker when it comes to money if he isn't set for life by now.

He wasnt making set for life kind of money, well maybe ith his age.

Maybe they're keeping him away from the newer girls.

Maybe they will lift the "Paige Policy" now.

Whats wrong with this? Why cant the guy fuck younger women ( i assume you mean younger girls not underaged )? I would love to be in his position. I hope i'm pounding younger woman when i'm 60. Props to him. I dont hate on him for that. In fact, i love Lawler. I rather hear him call the matches than anyone else they have right now.

Not surprised since the WWE had been gradually reducing his on-screen stuff ever since the heart attack a few years ago and the rumors about them wanting to do this for years.

Why would you assume he didn't mean exactly what he said?

Jerry Lawler's recent heel run was actually a breath of fresh air. He was way better than Mauro Ranallo. I think it was time to move away from him, but he could have still worked in a managerial role. That being said, it's nice that he'll still get to host the Hall of Fame and such -- he'll feel more special.

It's a shame that we won't get a Jerry Lawler shoot interview though. I bet he's got lots to say.

*Brian Christopher Sr.

Mauro and King were not in the same job. Can't compare the two.

Also of note is that the same thing has happened to Lita, which I consider a more charitable thing for the public that anything Be A Star or Make A Wish has ever produced.

Look, I realize this might come off as cruel, but honestly, it's for the best for all sides involved. Does any fan or anyone employed and/or associated with WWE want to re-live the heart attack he had in the ring during a match?

I wish him all the best, and hope he will use this time to retire and spend time with friends and loved ones. Life is too short.

He was OK in his more recent years, but I just got so damn sick of his "Uncle Jerry" stuff he would always say about or even to the female superstars...it's like we get it dude...you're probably well into your 60's with the libido of a teenager. Can't you just keep those thoughts to yourself about 75-80% of the time?

What?

He was announcing, not in the ring.

He has said though that it was most likely Zigglers numerous elbows that triggered it. Probably just luck it didn't happen in the ring.

Do people think he is honestly going to wrestle again for WWE?

Since he's a medical expert, right?

Theyve let him wrestle on his birthday every year since like forever

Go to 7:20, according to him his cardiologist told him that the elbows were probably the cause.

Is there a Lawler fucking a underage girl incident that i dont know about?

no I mean underaged lol

Let's just gloss over the 40 years of McDonalds

In 1993, Lawler was indicted on charges of allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, which caused him to miss Survivor Series 1993.[73] The charges were later dropped, after the girl admitted she fabricated some of the story.

Time for him to go to new Japan put him back with jr

Its about 10 years too late. Lawler was gold on the mic then he just started to phone it in.

He hasn't wrestled for WWE since that Tag match.

Why do people bring this up when the family lied about it?

No smoke without fire? Paid off the family?

REALLY? I mean hell Lawler on commentary was golden back in the day

But now where the likes of JBL and Cole sound forced (and Saxton is miserable) Lawler sounds like he's just going through the motions and doesn't give a fuck his jokes are terrible and he's been that way for a long time now He comes off as very much a shell of his former self.

It was getting sad. I hope he has a nice life trolling for Catholic HS girls.

Sorry, I meant to say better WITH Mauro Ranallo. Just a mistake on my behalf. I liked that tandem more than any post-draft SmackDown combination.

XL beats children.

Alright guys now that someone said it, in the future we must quote it like it is truth.
